Leinster are favourites to go on and elevate the trophy, a standing underlined by a crushing 10-try victory over Harlequins within the final spherical.
Glasgow will be backed are odds of about 10-1 to spring an upset in Dublin, however Leinster and All Blacks celebrity again Jordie Barrett has full respect for the URC champions.
“If we do not get our jobs proper this weekend, effectively, then there isn’t any extra European rugby for us, it is so simple as that,” Barrett informed RTE.
“Glasgow are a very good aspect. They play a variety of rugby, a really attacking aspect. They’re robust as effectively, as they confirmed within the weekend towards Leicester.
“So it should be a problem. They are a very robust one-to-eight and so they play with a variety of ball and kick the least within the URC.
“They are a assured aspect, they do again their capacity. However, look, we’re proper up for the problem.
“We respect them as an outfit. However we really feel like we’re not off course right here too.”
After shedding the previous three consecutive finals, and 4 of the previous six, there may be stress on Leinster to lastly get their arms on the Champions Cup once more.
They’ve made six modifications to the aspect that demolished Quins, with Eire internationals Dan Sheehan, Andrew Porter and Caelan Doris all ranging from the bench.
That is three just about nailed-on British and Irish Lions for this summer season’s Australia tour, together with a possible captain in Doris, left on the sidelines for the beginning of the sport.
Are Leinster taking Glasgow just a bit flippantly? Or are they in order that robust they’ve the capability to combine and match on a week-to-week foundation?
In all probability the latter, when you think about the group continues to be boasts a number of Six Nations winners, Lions, a double World Cup winner in RG Snyman and is dripping with class from prime to toe.
Not many expect Glasgow to knock Leinster off beam of their quest to develop into kings of Europe for the primary time since 2018.
In the event that they do, the reverberations shall be felt throughout the rugby world.
